fairfieldjeff Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I have an entec pro dongle that I run all of our lighting at the church with. I'm trying to set up a 16 channel dimmer to run the LOR1602w tha i just purchased from a friend. The starting DMX address is channel 87. If I'm reading things correctly, the unit id switches should be set to hex 57. Is that correct? If it is, then I've got something else happening because I am getting no signal on channel 87 or any of the next 16 that are on the LOR1602w. HELP please! THANKS!

Tim Benson Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Check out this DOC http://www1.lightorama.com/Documents/DMX-DOC.pdf Basically you set the LOR controller to an ID and it has a range of 16 addresses. You cannot set an arbritrary start address For example setting ID 06 on a controller has a start address of 81 in DMX Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Check out this DOC http://www1.lightorama.com/Documents/DMX-DOC.pdfFor example setting ID 06 on a controller has a start address of 81 in DMX Is that hardwired, that is if I had no ID4 or 5 would ID6 still be 81 or would it be 49?

LOR Staff Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 UID 06 will always be DMX CH 81-96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) UID 06 will always be DMX CH 81-96. My UID's 11-A1 are ccd's and I have 16ch boxes above that. How is that mapped? UID 21's (16ch) dmx address? Edited July 15, 2014 by colonel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Benson Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Colonel,UID 11 would have a start address of 257 so i'm assuming with a CCD, it would use 157 addresses so DMX channels 257 to 414The next usable UID would then be 1B which starts at DMX channel 417and goes to 574 but that runs past the DMX limit of 512. DMX has limitations that LOR protocol does not have. If you want to use CCD's in a DMX configuration, you will need to use lower UIDs for the controllers.you can only fit 3 CCD's in a DMX universe because it is limited to 512 addresses. Again, all of the DMX info is in the Users manuals. I started using DMX this year for Pixels, but will run all of my LOR controllers in native LOR protocol because it just works for me.

colonel Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I started using DMX this year for Pixels, but will run all of my LOR controllers in native LOR protocol because it just works for me. That would be my choice too and I eagerly await a new version that can handle the large lms files. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I started using DMX this year for Pixels,If your pixels are CCD's, why would you use DMX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Benson Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 If your pixels are CCD's, why would you use DMX? Because I'm not using CCD's The LOR solution was too costly for me so I went with Sandevices 6804 and pixabulbs, as well as some Komby RF1's and some Holiday coro dumb RGB.
